In our Event Space, during December and January, audiences can experience Neuroqueering space and time, an immersive installation created by River Moore. Visitors are invited to explore different ways of experiencing and inhabiting space. The work is grounded in River's lived experience as a trans, neurodivergent and disabled artist.
Drawing on patterns and organic forms found in nature, River brings together natural and reclaimed materials to create a layered, immersive environment. Soft sculptural forms invite tactile exploration, while experiments with light, reflection and refraction produce shifting colours and patterns throughout the space.
Through playful spatial interventions, River creates a sensory sanctuary for rest, regulation, exploration and connection. Moving between stimulation and stillness, openness and enclosure, the installation invites visitors to follow their curiosity, find spaces that meet their needs, and engage with the environment on their own terms.
This approach to creating space is reflected in River's own creative process. In developing Neuroqueering space and time, they explore how the process of creating an accessible space can also be accessible to the artist, allowing their own rhythms, needs and capacities to shape both the creative process and the work that emerges.
About River Moore
River Moore (they/he) is a trans, neurodivergent multidisciplinary artist living and working on Bundjalung Country. Their practice centres the creation of sensory-inclusive, immersive environments that foster rest, regulation, connection, and embodied exploration.
Working across fibre arts, assemblage, painting, and installation, River transforms reclaimed materials through experimental and repetitive processes informed by lived experience of neurodivergence. Their work explores relationships between people, materials, environments, and the more-than-human world, creating opportunities for sensory engagement, curiosity, and connection.
Neuroqueering space and time is proudly supported by Museums and Galleries of NSW and the NSW Government through the Audience Development Fund. The Audience Development Fund is a Museums & Galleries of NSW program.
